Kringle Candle Process

Creating long-lasting, clean-burning scented candles is part science, part art. And the artfully scientific part of the process is getting the fragrances absolutely right.

The most costly component of any scented candle is the fragrance oil itself. This is the blend of naturally-derived substances which provide the finished product with its characteristic fragrance. The delicate art is to choose fragrance components that help deliver a faithful representation of the floral, fruit, herb, food (or combination of these things) that are represented by the candle's name and label. The challenging science is to achieve a mix that is appealing to the nose both while the candle is cold and unlit, as well as when the candle is burning brightly.

Trial and error and constant refinement are the only way to achieve the desired result, and every fragrance in the Kringle Candle lineup is the product of testing, testing and more testing.

We believe that our current fragrances offer something to delight everyone, but we're not resting on our laurels. Our team is hard at work developing new and exciting fragrances that we will release only when the recipe is perfect and the time is right.

On one other important note, we'd like you to know that absolutely no lead wicks or bases are used in making any of our products. Kringle's hand-crafting methods are fully compliant with all ASTM regulations for candle making processes and materials.

With all this said, we never assume that we have all the answers. Nobody is more valuable to us than you - our customer - and we want to hear from you. Fragrance suggestions and ideas, comments about what we're doing and so forth are very helpful to us. And that's why part of our process is to invite you to tell us what you think. If you’d like to share your views, please don't hold back. Use our contact us page for information, and we promise that you'll receive a prompt and courteous reply.

Thank you, and keep enjoying Kringle Candles!
